We’re in Amsterdam with Sander van Deventer, the CEO of VectorY. We will talk about VectorY and what’s missing in gene therapy. 💎 ABOUT THE SPEAKER Sander has an impressive track record, being a professor, operational biotech founder and a VC. In 1998, he co-founded uniQure, which brought the first gene therapy to the market. He also co-founded the leading VC Forbion as well as Dezima. He is now building a new venture VectorY, again in gene therapy. I interviewed him in 2017 back at Labiotech so it’s great to catch up with him again. 📜 TRANSCRIPT Read the full transcript here: https://flot.bio/episode/sander-van-deventer-gene-therapy/ 🫶 FOLLOW US - Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/h_fnmH - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flot-bio/ - X (Twitter): https://x.com/FlotBio 🎙️ ABOUT FLOT.BIO Flot.bio is a show to watch the best Europeans in biotech to help you grow.
